ok so \(\bf 25+\cfrac{5}{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}=\cfrac{x}{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}\quad \textit{multiplying by "3"}\\ \quad \\ {\color{blue}{ 3}}\times \left(25+\cfrac{5}{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}\right)={\color{blue}{ 3}}\times \cfrac{x}{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}\implies ({\color{blue}{ 3}}\times 25)+ \cancel{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}\times\cfrac{5}{\cancel{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}}= \cancel{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}\times \cfrac{x}{\cancel{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}} \\ \quad \\\implies 75+5=x\)
